  • BTS: Merging bugs not working because of "forwarded" to upstream bug

    From c.buhtz@posteo.jp@21:1/5 to All on Wed Mar 29 10:10:01 2023
    Hello,

    I try to understand a problem with the Bug Tracking System. I tried to
    merge two bugs because one is a duplicate. I send to control@

    merge 985631 985256

    I also tried the other way around switching the numbers.

    But I got back that message that I don't understand. The link to the
    upstream bug might be a problem but I don't understand why.

    Bug #985631 [backintime-qt] backintime-qt: for volumes mounted on
    demand, exiting backupintime-qt during the backup fails
    Unable to merge bugs because:
    forwarded of #985256 is '' not 'https://github.com/bit-team/backintime/issues/724'
    Failed to merge 985631: Did not alter merged bugs.

    Kind

    Do, what it says: the forwarded value must be equal for both bugs.

    So either mark the #985631 as notforwarded or mark the #985256 as
    forwarded to "https://github.com/bit-team/backintime/issues/724" .

    Dear Hilmar,

    thanks for the reply.

    The system should do what I say: merge. :D

    Looking into the BTS's own bug tracker it seems it has no effect when
    opening a bug report about that.

    That's not what the docs for the command say, please read them before
    using the command.
    And the command for "do what I say" is called forcemerge.
